An award-winning look at the challenges and characters of modern desert crack climbing, featuring hilarious commentary by Timmy O’Neill. Includes Didier Berthod’s first ascent of “From Switzerland, With Love” (probably the hardest crack in the desert at 5.13+R), Eric Decaria’s inspiring repeat of the hairball arête “Air Swedin” (5.13R), Timmy O’Neill’s traverse of the Bridger-Jacks highline and much, much more.
